Bad guys, I will PM you a password to the Bad Guys! forum (look at the top of the forum pages for a messages link). Good Guys can have one, too, but you will have to trust me not to peek. Of course, keep in mind...I am a bad guy.
Lemme know.

Okay, I have an army that I don't totally hate. Stanks and a gunline will defeat it, as will multiple flagellant blocks, likely.
Wonder-Chaos powers...activate! Wish me the luck of Tzeentch! (The chaos mortal kind; I hate demons...lol)

Close...but no cigar. At the end, he had a stank with only 4 wounds left and nothing else. Actually I had him down to this in turn 5, but then made the incredibly foolish decision to charge in with some troops (since he didnt dare generate steam points to fight back), but which kept my remaining hellcannon and death mage from more effectively attacking it. So I spent the next three rounds beating on it in vain, bouncing off the T10 or the 1+ AS. Sigh My army: lvl 4 slaanesh mage with carpet, diabolic splendor and spell familiar - did NOT get Ecstatic Seizures! Dooooooooh! lvl 2 death mage with Blood of Tz and Conjoined Homonculus BSB with doom totem 10 MoS maraduer cav with lt and axes 10 MoS maraduer cav with lt and axes 5 MoS maraduer cav with lt and flails 5 MoS maraduer cav with lt and flails 30 MoS Marauders with music and std (bunker for BSB) 12 MoT Warriors with shields and xtra HW 6 MoT knights with Bnr of Rage 2 hellcannons He had: Popemobile lvl 2 life wiz warrior priest BSB with 4+ ward 3 35+ man units of halberdiers stank 2 cannons 2 mortars 2 rocket batteries 2 engineers Game Summary: Death continues to mow down characters, as I was able to kill his BSB in the first turn using Caress of Laniph. Doom Totem + Hellcannon hits (which cause panic) ran two of the big halberd units off the board in the first turn! Fast cav just barely managed to collect all the war machines + engineers in time (throwing axes were worthless); thank goodness for vanguard move, as it allowed me to start jamming the works on turn 1, and then charge on turn 2. It turned into a rock/paper/scissors/lizard/spock game due to stank. I took Slaanesh on my mage lord for more certain access to hellshriek (which accounted for the last big block), but this denied me access to Purple Sun, which would have collected the Stank in short order. But since neither mage rolled the 6th spell (or a double), taking Death with the lord would not have mattered; STILL would not have gotten Purple Sun. It took a combo charge from a hellcannon and my (reincarnated) tz knights to finally put paid to the walter. All star awards go to the Hellcannons. They accounted for 2 huge units of halberds, 5 wounds on the stank, and half of the pope. Hellshriek is a huge game winner with diabolic splendor against moderate Ld armies. All units within 18" take panic check at -1 Ld? Yes, please. The new 8th rule that war machine crews cannot panic kept this combo from totally dominating, otherwise it would have cleaned off all the war machines with ease. Side note: This was my frist game using the Slaanesh lore, and it is a bit situational and can be frustrating when you just need to kill something, but it definitely has its uses. As I said, Hellshriek is a game winner, and Ecstatic Seizures will rip low to moderate T units apart, including embedded characters; there are no saves OF ANY KIND!

Sounds like you played it really well. It's impressive that you got him to having just a stank.

Thanks, I was feeling good in turn 5 that I could at LEAST get a tie, but then the ill-advised charge...and he rolled no one's for armor saves for like 3 turns. (sigh) Funny, he said he felt like he got whupped since his whole army was gone, and I fetl bad for giving up yet another massacre. A lose-lose game we called it. lol

Actually, Dave Norvell has administrator rights on this site. He could create a sub-forum for the good guys and give them a unique password. He is Dark Dave, but you can probably trust him.
